Unfortunately you can’t do that on Sagittarius A*. Would be cool to have someone fly into it and watch a video from the inside and see the player on the outside slowly shifting to red.
It makes sense in-universe. The Frame Shift Drive is hampered by sources of gravity which is seen when you get mass locked by larger ships or space stations, and why you can move faster the farther out you get from the sun. Trying to fly directly into a black hole overloads the FSD and so it throws you out of supercruise far enough away that your thrusters can’t get you there.
At least this is the way it works when approaching stars, I’m pretty sure black holes behave the same way.

My graphics card is screaming at the thought

Kind of ironic since the calculations for the hyperjump require large gravity sources IIRC.
